With the publication of “The International Hockey Year Book 2003”, author K. Arumugam makes an important contribution to the promotion of sport.

This valuable work retraces, through words and images, the most significant moments of the last two years of regional, continental and world hockey competitions. It also provides up-to-date informative material, and serves as an easily comprehensible reference guide.

The many photographs capture for ever the exceptional feats, special emotions, and unforgettable memories, ensuring that the year 2003 of this Olympic sport will be safeguarded and will remain for generations to come.
I trust that each of you will appreciate this book.
